The mountain attracts visitors with a number of attractions. The most attractive is the glacial Plešné Lake, which has not been open to the public for many years. On the slope above the lake stands a 14.5-meter tall memorial to the writer and poet Adalbert Stifter, who built the Šumava stones at a place where he was looking into the region, in a difficult-to-reach cliff above the lake. On the southern slope of Plechý, the rocky wall of the Plešne lake karales rises up to 211 meters
